  • Your server needs to have a static IP address. Once you have that, and have your DNS service set up, then you should be able to update your domain(s) to point to the new DNS. This new server doesn’t have to be your primary DNS entry for the domain(s), but it should be one of the first two entries. And that’s pretty much all you need to get started.

    One other consideration is setting up the master/slave status of your DNS servers so you only have to make updates in one spot (helpful to ensure everything stays in sync). This isn’t a requirement, it just makes your life easier.





  • Actually I AM that guy with a small font size and super-packed density. The more information on the screen, the faster I can take it in at a glance and find what I need. Sorry your brain doesn’t work that way, but less clicking and scrolling absolutely does affect my productivity and my idea of usability. For example, I find it highly annoying when a website changes to a larger spacing on a drop-down list and suddenly something I used to be able to immediately click on now requires me to scroll down several times to find the option I want. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to increase usability.


  • Heh I just ran into the invisible icons issue recently, for whatever reason I am no longer able to accept Teams meeting. Yeah that’s definitely a shitty thing. But more whitespace? In other words, less visible information on the screen which requires more scrolling or clicking to other screens? Sorry, that just sounds annoying and less productive.
